Why has this dream passed, and why will ADS-B not be portable? This is the
type of project that the SAA along with other groups (Skydivers,
Ultralights, etc.) should be working on.

It was reports such as this that contributed to the dream (of 15 or so
years ago) that a portable battery powered ADS-B unit suitable for
skydivers, gliders, ultralights etc, could be produced for under $1000.
Once the dream passed through the normal bureaucratic process ADS-B
was delayed over 20 years, will not be portable, and will cost more
than most pilots will be willing to pay.
